I need help with my room! AKA oh my God this is the worst room ever!

I grew tired of my old setup, which consisted of hot wheels car from when I was a little boy and car posters, oh boy, shit was awful. So I decided to throw (aka keep it on top of my wardrobe) them away and start a new one! Thing is, I'm quite uncertain of how I can proceed with this. I got some posters hanging around, including one which I couldn't take a photo of because it's not in my house, cell phone pictures mode engage:

This is my window:

Main wall, on which I'm considering hanging 2 posters, at least, on it:

The catch is that I can't afford anything more expensive than this, like something that has to be painted on and such, I will frame them though. What should I do with them?
I think that putting the two rockstar ones on the same wall would be weird, taking into account that it would be 2 girls from a game, it'd be kinda creepy.
Thanks in advance!

Nope, wouldn't work out, since I (kinda) measured stuff:

My room is small
how about switching the bed with the desk
Maybe try moving the bed where your wardrobe is. I don't know if it's just because I'm used to my room's setup, but I don't like opening the door and bumping into a bed. Perhaps something like this:

As for the posters, I don't think that two girls on the same wall would look bad. I do, however, think that two maps together would look awful. Maybe you should try putting the two rockstar girls on the same wall, with another poster in the middle, either the akira one or the one with the mafia 2 thing. Try putting one of the maps over your PC, and the other one wherever there's space left.

you could also switch your bed with the PC there
I would suggest not putting the maps on your wall, as that wouldn't look very nice.
Jesus never knew people went into this much effort on how their room looks.
Room is pretty freaking miniscule... I dont know how to help you. I was going to suggest you get a shabby clothing rack and put your clothes on that, but you probably put your tv in there? Unless you can buy yourself a flat screen to put on the wall and maybe get paint/stick on wallpaper to make your room look a bit bigger and complimentary?
The maps look pretty meh, try rasterbating -

I made the print using the downloadable executable and then added color by cutting open highlighter tubes and applying the ink with crumpled newspaper and various materials. Depending on how creative you get, you can get a wide range of effects using different colors and mediums (I like watercolor dilute, marker ink tubes, and highlighters for the job).
well you should move your pc because if someone walks in and your fapping that's the first thing they're gonna see.
I would pant/wallpaper the walls, plain white makes it look like an asylum. I would recommend getting some new colored window blinds too. Also maybe consider investing in some high quality posters and frame them, so you do not have all those creases.
imptastick, that's a great idea, I think I'm gonna paint the wall where the bed is. I'm thinking about red or something. I also thought about framing three QR codes, would that look bad? I think it's an interesting concept:

This edit is, of course, nowhere near as to how it would actually be :v:
So how many here got out their phone and actually scanned those?

They're just placeholders though, I'm thinking about hosting some pictures/portraits somewhere safe like dropbox or something and frame their respective QR codes, and I decided that I am going to do this, I'll keep you guys informed about it.
Okay, it's settled, slightly grey wall with QR codes, I think it's neat, better preview:

I'm also gonna change my curtains. I'll start working on it this Saturday, I'll keep you guys posted.

Beat me to it. Also, that reminds me that I have to re-position my computer too, since it can be seen right as someone opens the door.

Would look better with the PC where the wardrobe is and vice-versa IMO
Hooray mother fuckers
Sorry about the slow process but hey, if I'm gonna make, gotta make it right

There are some odd spots though, but since this is the first time I actually painted a wall, well, they are excusable, also fixable:

As I thought, grey would fit with the brighter furniture, like the bed and the wardrobe, it looks classy as fuck
One thing I did with my posters/frames was do them at differing heights. You could do them how I did:
[IMG_thumb]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn70/Evilanbb/20120916_215411.jpg[/IMG_thumb]
Or lay them out kind of how a cell phone signal looks. Angling upwards/downwards in one direction:

All that's important is making the pictures look like they are taking up more of your wall than they actually are. So unless they are huge paintings with framing, do not lay them out side by side.
I think his QR codes look just fine in a row the more I look at it.
Although I will use some of your advice on pictures next time I rearrange my wall.
